Turnaround, Pick-up & Drop-off
I'm located in the Gordon Head area, near PKOLS (Mt. Douglas).
Turnaround is dependent on how many knives you have, the work in question, and my current workload. Expect 24-72 hours.
Need them for a specific time? Please send me a message and I'll see what I can do. I'm happy to help.
Pressed for time? Pickup and drop-off are available within the Greater Victoria Area. Available by appointment only. A small fee may apply.
Sharpening...

Thinning, Reprofiling, and Refinishing...
Starting at $10
With repeated sharpening, blades get shorter in height and thicker at the apex, creating a knife geometry that wedges instead of slices. This can be remedied by thinning the main bevel of a knife.
Additionally, repeated use of a pull-through sharpener can lead to wonky profiles and excessive bolster material over time. Not a problem! Send me some photos and I'd be happy to advise!
Tips, chips, and bends...
Starting at $10
In a lot of cases, a knife that has damage can be repaired. Pricing ranges greatly depending on severity and type of knife. Please send me an email with some pictures and I'd be happy to advise.
Rehandling & Rust...
Rust removal starting at $5
Rehandling starting at $30
Unfortunately, stainless doesn't mean stain-never! Surface rust can be addressed with minimal impact on a blades finish. Deeper rust may not clean up visually perfect but it can certainly bring an old knife back to life!
Cycles of wet and dry can ocasioanlly crack Japanese style "wa" handles. If your handle has seen better days or you simply want a change of pace, don't hesitate to reach out!
